Nawazuddin Siddiqui said during a conversation with IndianExpress, ¡°With time people saw my work and started appreciating it. If your work is good, people will appreciate it, thanks to Anurag Kashyap who introduced me to a big platform. When I went to Cannes, there were so many people who had seen my work. A lot of the films that he has directed and I have acted in, have gone to Cannes, so Anurag is a special director for me.¡±

Nawaz then went on to add, ¡°Anurag and I are not even friends, frankly speaking. If we sit together we might not even talk to each other for hours. We are like that. We have flown together, travelled together for 5-6 hours without saying a word, maybe we¡¯ll ask if you have matchsticks, or come, let¡¯s eat something or drink. We only discuss these things. We don¡¯t talk much. But Anurag has a special place in my heart. I always want him to be healthy and make films even if he doesn¡¯t cast me in them. Anurag should always keep making films. Kabhi koi aanch nahi aani chaahiye Anurag ko bass (Anurag should never have any problems),¡± he concluded.
